Genesis 38:21

Study

       

21 Then he asked the men of that place, saying, where is the harlot that was openly by the way-side? and they said, There was no harlot in this place.

from the Writings of Emanuel Swedenborg

 

Arcana Coelestia #4848

Studere hoc loco

4848. 'And she remained in her father's house' means the alienation of this Church from the Jewish Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'remaining a widow in her father's house' as alienation, dealt with above in 4844.
